Kurginyan: The lust for spoils pushes the world to nuclear war

Russia is a prize of an enormous value that the US obtained in the cold war, for which it continues to fight, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, Sergey Kurginyan, said on April 10 in the Evening with Vladimir Solovyov TV program at the Russian Channel One.

The Americans believe that they have not lost Russia yet; therefore, they continue fighting furiously for this prize. “As soon as they realize that they have lost it… ‘forever’, as they love to say ― from this moment nuclear war will not be possible in the way that it is possible now! Because it is the lust for spoils that pushes them to war,” Sergey Kurginyan said. Russia has overwhelmingly more nuclear weapons than North Korea, but we receive far worse disrespect than North Korea, because we are “a prize,” the political scientist explained.

According to Kurginyan, a system must be built which would withstand and survive in any environment. The key point is the self-determination of the elite, the political scientist believes. “Since the economy will have to be rearranged, please either become part of it or quietly step aside. We do not want any serious conflicts. What we want is the unity of the nation, and the mildest possible way that would us not to back down,” the political scientist said.

The Americans must see that external pressure only makes Russians even more mobilized as a nation. “It will take Russians one day to lose all this consumerist luster to uncover their invariable quality, ‘to stand, to not back down, and fight’,” the leader of Essence of Time said.

In 1991, the USSR lost the cold war, and it de facto became a colony of the West. A large part of its territory, the former Societ republics, was lost, breaking apart its economic structure and ties. State assets were sold for pennies of the dollar, destroyed, or made private. Not only system-forming ideology, but all ideology was abandoned, along with independent strategy and national interests. To become part of the West, on the latter’s conditions, became the supreme motivation and goal.
